Bad Weather Inc. [1976] - I Never Never Knew [Bad Weather #100]


This was a big tune on the NS circuit around the late 90s/turn of the century (might have been earlier but that's when I first remember it). It got a reissue on the reactivated UK Soul City label in 2002.

I suspect it's blue-eyed and has a bit of a reggae feel but it packed dance floors.

The official A side is a cover of Smokey Robinson & The Miracles 'You Really Got A Hold On Me' which was also released as the flip side to a 45 on Maison De Soul with Angie Brown 'Slip Away' on the A side, which they must have believed in as it was also released twice on Bad Weather!

Bad Weather was a label set up by Mike Lachney in Kinder, Louisina which is a small town of 2,500 population midway between Houston and New Orleans, an odd place to set up a label! 

There are nine records listed for the label, but the last cat. no. is 111 so there may be some as yet to be discovered. i.e 103,106,109,110 are not listed. Most, if not all, of the releases were cover versions on the A side.
